LOVE and LIFE

   Amazing Love is the award-winning action of our God. He showed mankind Love and never expected anything in return. When we believe His love, He then add another advantage to it by giving us eternal life in return.
   We live in a world where love has been defined to be so many things like romance, crush, admire, sex, and so on has been painted to people as real love. But the truth is that all those definitions (no matter good they sound) isn't LOVE'S definition.
   The question of Love isn't of "what" alone, but " WHO" is also involved. The reason has been that it's not just an act, but there is a personality behind the act. Our God is Love Himself. And He also showed us the act by first expressing Himself.
   He expressed Himself by sacrificing His son for the sake of mankind. So that those who believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ will be rewarded the more by giving again a way patterned after His, which is eternal life (John 3:16).
   The eternal life received is an inbuilt way of always longing to please and be like Christ. The way Love has been defined to us by the world has blocked our inner eyes from knowing the real meaning. The act of love is nothing else than the pictures of a man hanged on a cross with bloodstains all carrying the world's sins. Even though blameless.
   Love is sacrificial, not for selfish reasons but that others might be of benefits. Only those who believe in Christ Jesus can understand the relationship between Love and the life that accompanies it. If you aren't for Him genuinely, I urge you to please surrender yourself to Him, believe His death and resurrection, confess your sins, confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and eternal life will come to you.  

Shalom!!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
